This idea was originally meant for my educational online store, Level 3, Topics Greek Mythology.
Some really fun thing about trojan horses. Basically, someone creates something really nice (boat, airplane, robot, whatever) and refuses to sell it or let others us it. So it’s stolen.
They pretend it’s a big deal, that they’ll get/punish whoever did this, that it’s this great loss.
But in actuality … they actually made it easy to steal and goaded others into doing it, because it’s a spy. That thing has been secretly relaying messages and recording stuff for years before they find out.
